I hope you have a good GP. One that actually understands the condition. Docs are getting better with it but still a long way to go sadly. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

''still a long way to go sadly. ''

DIAGNOSED MYSELF ...............
it only took the doctors 15 yrs to catch up
:rotfl: :rotfl:
AND have now been seen & diagnosed by the ''experts'' rofl
I could so do their job better than them
I am always giving them info they've not even seen or heard about
When my doctor of the last 7 yrs was asked how my M E affected me he wrote ''not recorded''
and I had to pay to get my records so I could copy all the info that WAS recorded in them

Yep that pic is about right. When i am like this i usually end up doing something silly like decorating or cleaning at the very least. And then have a shower and get changed and go off to work. Not sure how i do it. I do this for so long then eventually the body gives up and then its collapso time for a few days. I get tired and emotional and weepy and my whole word falls apart for a while. Then i pick myself up and start the cycle all over again. I wish i could shut my mind off for a while. It drives me fooookin nuts at times. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I had been ill for quite a few yrs. I had tried for children for a long time but had a lot of the usual female problems. I knew i had Endometriosis from being about 23. I have never had pain like it in all my life. Always taking time off work at that time of the month. Only problem was the month got longer and longer until they virtually merged into one. I kept going to the docs and they kept saying was, Nooooooo nooooo, you are far to young for that condition. Its only the usual painful periods, Yadda yadda yadda yadda.

Roll on a fair few yrs. 10ys in fact. Still not pregnant. So doc says i will send you for some tests. A laparoscopy later, and the consultant sits me down and says.
Ok, we have the results of your op. You have a condition known as Endometriosis. Let me explain to you about this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO, dont bother. Let me tell you instead.

Upshot of it was, as it had been left so long it had left me infertile.

A couple of cycles of IFV..... nothing. The damge had already been done.

Eventually i could not stand the pain any longer. And had a hystericallectomy as i call it now.

I really wish i had the balls way back then to say please just listen to me.


I always say to people if they are having health problems. domt let them be brushed aside just because there is a lack of knowledge. Fight for everything you believe in.

Ohhhhhhh my god. That came out of nowhere,

Sorry Maytaurus. Your last post hit a very raw nerve. Thats a lot off my chest. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh muck fee, look at the time. Only an hour and half to go and i will be in the shower and then setting off for work. Never mind am off on saturday. Will try and have a lie in then. Knock out drops maybe required. LOL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

to hear that Smashed
I had the same
''Always taking time off work at that time of the month. Only problem was the month got longer and longer until they virtually merged into one'' and had laser treatment
I was lucky to have 3 children (even tho there were some problems with 2 of the births)
Please take care of yourself

Thank you sweetie, I will. Well will try anyway,

When docs dont or wont listen they really dont realise sometimes how it can affect someones life long term. If a girl or woman tells me they are having problems in that area as it were i tell them to go back to doca and sit on the doorstep and insist on having extra tests. I would hate for other peeps to go through the same as i did. Its no life when you are in pain all the time. And bad tempered. It affects relationships as well. I know only too well. My ex husband and i had problems but i dont blame him for everything. I would not have liked to have lived with me at the time. I am now ok and knocking on fifty. So trying my best to get on with my life and come through the other side in one piece. including my brain. Mind you it maybe a bit too late for that now. Brain went into meltdown yrs ago. I like my la la land at times. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
